Create a Project Web App database

A Project Web App database is created using the New-SPProjectDatabase Microsoft PowerShell cmdlet. In order for the new database to be properly associated with the site collection where you want enable the Project Web App site collection features, you must use the Tag parameter to associate a unique string with this database. That string will be used later when you enable the site collection features.

You can find the name of the Project Server service application in Central Administration by clicking Manage service applications under Application Management.

Once you have created the new Project Web App database, the next step is to enable the Project Web App site collection features. Doing so will associate the database that you just created with the site collection.

The Project Web App site collection features are enabled by using the Enable-SPFeature PowerShell cmdlet. Prior to running this cmdlet, you must set the PWA_TAG parameter of the site collection to match the Tag parameter that you set when you created the database. Use the following PowerShell script to set the PWA_TAG parameter and then enable the Project Web App site collection features.
